Tax Time Tips
                         Couple Working on Taxes

Ideally we should start getting ready by January 15th when the forms start arriving in the mail.
It's March and the clock is ticking, and if you've put this off until now, try these simple ideas for a fresh start.

Create a master file for all tax records:
 Your 1099 papers have arrived and it's a great time to organize your tax documents.
 Start a master file using an expanding folder and manila files.
Label the files with the important tax categories -
·          W-2 information
·          Interest and dividend income
·          Financial papers/Investments
·          Charitable donations
·          Medical and dental expenses
·          Deductible business expenses
·          Additional deductions might be listed as educational expenses or financial planning
·          Before your papers arrive, this file will be ready, as their new home so as not to get lost
·          Once this master file is created it can be used for incoming papers/documents for the current year as well as for the papers for next year.

Green Home 

Spring is here ...and suddenly the sun
is shining from a different angle and we begin to look forward to spending time enjoying the extended hours of daylight. To get you out and about we're including some green recipes for 'spring' cleaning.
All purpose spray:
  • 2- cups water
  • 1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
  • 1-tsp Castile soap with lavender oil
  • 3/4 cup hydrogen peroxide
  • 20 drops tea tree oil

Mix all ingredients and put in a spray bottle. Spray and wipe clean. Recommended for use on ceramic tile, wood, marble and granite. Sophie Uliano suggests that it is a good idea to test homemade products in a small area first.
